Making the Most of a Successful Blog Post
…and other tales from the blogosphere
Ever feel like you’ve missed an opportunity? If you’re a blogger, you don’t want to miss out on capitalizing on a popular blog post, as Jennifer Slegg points out in her excellent post, Springboard off of a successful blog entry. Her advice boils down to a couple of main points:
- They liked your post? Write more like it. (It’s so simple, when you think about it.)
- Find a reason to link to the people who linked to your post, both as a way to repay their generosity and to establish a relationship that can get you added to their blogroll.
For advice on making social media marketing work for you, we looked at Lee Odden’s interview of Dave Evans, author of Social Media Marketing an Hour a Day. Despite the seemingly freewheeling nature of social media, Evans says that it’s important to measure social media campaigns—and, because it’s digital, that it’s not that hard to do.
We’re all about the books this week. Dave Bollier, editor of onthecommons.org, has written Viral Spiral: How the Commoners Built a Digital Republic of Their Own, which details the rise of open-source software and Creative Commons licenses. “Viral spiral” is the term Bollier uses to describe “the almost-magical process by which Internet users can come together to build online commons and tools.” We like that Bollier practices what he preaches. You can buy a hard copy of his work, or you can download it for free.
Our colleagues at Flickr are embarking on their own social experiment, and they’d like you to take part. To celebrate the launch last year of Flickr video—and the Flickrverse in general—they’re about to launch the Flickr Clock, which will display video taken every hour of the day. “As more members participate, we’ll have the opportunity to experience what a moment in time looks like from a diversity of perspectives,” they say. You can upload your own video to the Flickr Clock Group, and tag it with the time that it was shot.
Finally, have you wondered if the celebrities posting questions in Yahoo! Answers were real, and not, say, Halibut21 under a different guise? The Answers blog says you can tell by their “official” badge under their icon, which they can only get if they’re the real deal. I don’t have my official badge yet, so you’re just going to have to take my word that I’m real.

When you write a great article in your post you wish all time to write at least at the same level.
“write more like this” sounds very simple, but in fact is very hard to do it.
This is the ‘know how’ of making good articles in your blogs and it does take a lot of work and research. Where is no superficiality all time will see great results.

Why UGG Boot is So Popular?
Ugg boots, also spelled ugh boots and ug boots, are a style of sheepskin boot, with wool as the inner lining and a tanned outer surface worn by both men and women. Ugg boots often have a synthetic sole, although this is not universal. Uggs are popular with the teenage set, worn by girls with mini skirts, leggings, and with jeans tucked into the boots. UGGS Boots are also popular with boys, wearing jeans or tracksuit bottoms inside them most commonly.
UGG UK Sale, In Australia and New Zealand, sheepskin boots have long been popular with people in rural occupations, such as sheep shearers, who have ready access to the raw materials,. Their popularity increased as a result of World War I and World War II, when they were popular with aviators, because of their need to keep warm in non-pressurized planes at high altitudes. An exhibit of a WWI aviator’s outfit in the Canadian War Museum cites the term "fug" boots. UGG Cardy, Ugg Boots have also been popular with surfers and competitive swimmers since at least the 1960s, for keeping warm while out of the water. The terms ugg boots, ugh boots and ug boots have been used as generic terms for sheepskin boots in Australia since 1950s and 1960s, when they first appeared in advertising and other publications.
The natural properties of sheepskin results in thermostatic benefits. Thick fleecy fibres on the inner part of the boots allows air to circulate and keep the feet at body temperature. Synthetic and faux fur boots do not have these properties and sheepskin boots are highly prized for their effectiveness. Ugg boots are designed to be worn without socks in order to maximize the benefits of sheepskin.
